About: Hi! I’m Rori, and I love animals of all kinds, especially cats and dogs. I have had so many pets of my own and lots of hands-on experience caring for animals with different needs and energy levels. I know how important it is to treat every animal with patience and care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, play, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m available after school on weekdays, most evenings, and on weekends. I may also be available for early morning visits before school when needed. Feel free to message me. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! During drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, litter box or potty breaks, medication (if needed), and routines. I always secure doors, gates, and leashes, and make sure pets are safely settled before I leave.
“Jacob was great with our dogs. He was punctual, reliable, friendly with them. One of our dog is not easy around people but he can make her trust him.The other one falls in love with him and waiting Jacob to rub his belly. I 'd definitely have him to take care our dogs again, also his kindness to feed a homeless cat volunteering. Communication was great and we were so happy to see our dogs pictures everyday. Thanks Jacob. .”

Alayna was very attentive to my 3 shy cats, they quickly bonded with her while I was gone for over a week. Alayna shared detailed updates and photos, and took care of all their needs and would reach out for any questions. I will definitely book her again on future trips!

Tyler was exceptional and provided outstanding care for our dog during our time away. They were punctual, reliable, and maintained excellent communication throughout the duration of his care.
